Since I don't like coffee, personally I couldn't care less what happens to Starbucks. Have always thought of it as a Yuppie joint. They rode the wave longer than Co's like Krespy Kreme, never been to one of their stores either, and then there is Boston Market, another place I never frequented.
All it take is time and somewhat hard times for some to acknowledge these kind of places really weren't offering stuff a lot better than the competition. Just charging more for the brand.
Well, that my take on it
even though I'm likely the lone ranger on these kind of businesses.
